Target:  C++ C&I Specification CD03

Description:  
The getServices and getServiceReferences member functions of the ComponentContext
class return std::lists.  Given that the size of this lists will not
vary once created by the member function call, it would be more appropriate
for these member functions to return std::vectors.  The resulting
code, client and infrastructure, would be more efficient and the client
code would be simpler - it would not be necessary to use itterators.

Proposal: 
Change the return types of these two member functions to use std::vector
instead  of std::list.  A corresponding change in the description
of @Reference is also needed.
